CALL OF STAGE CAME TO MISS
CLIFFORD WHEN MERE CHILD
Dainty Dancer and Victor Morley. Comedian In "Three Twins," Talk; of
Life' Behind Footlights.
Interviewing a twain like Bessie "Clifford
and Victor Morley is like trying to pho
tograph liglrtning. One needs must be
ever alert for the flash. Bessie Clifford
behind the footlights and Bessie Clifford
In the drawing room of the Portland
hotel, where she is staying, are vastly
different folk. The former Is a dancer,
a bit of thistledown blown about to mu
sic. A comedienne if you will, but al
ways a dancer, whether we remember
her best in her "hypnotic" dance, with
Its blending of fire and passion and
poetry or as the tiny whirling Pierrot
of Yama Yama fame.
But the Miss Clifford off stage Is a
vastly different being. Seated in a huge
chair whleh almost swallowed her little
body, she made a demure picture of Miss
Innocence abroad. In her tailored gown
and- white furs. The feet that have
danced their owner's way Into hearts
galore, were clad In modish little black
walking boots with meek looking buttons
that shrieked propriety and defied one
to believe they could execute the thou
sand and then some steps accredited to
their terpslchoreajt repertoire.
Seated opposite Miss Clifford was Mr.
Morley. As a comedian he Is a kaleido
scopic change of moods and tenses always
a creator of mirth, and unequalled as a
dispenser of Joy. In the drawing room
he Is another Victor Morley, quiet, al
most reserved, faultlessly dressed, and pos
sessing an accent so decidedly Piccadilly
that one Involuntarily looks for a mono
cle. But he hasn't any. Seven years
Mr. Morley has spent In the land of the
free and home of the brave, renewing his
aocent.
"When we were in British Columbia,
Mr. Morley was it, with a capital H."
said Miss Clifford, flaring her yellow
brown eyes accusingly at' the complaeent
object of her attack.. "You see it's so
deuced Hlngllsh there, doncher know,"
mlmlelng in real cockney style, "and
Mr. Morley captured all the plaudits
from the press. There're so conserva
tive they wouldn't even ahare it with
me," and she assumed a plaintive tone.
"Well." came In oily tones from the
Englishman, "when our show plays In
Jerusalem you'll get yours."
For Bessie Clifford, with tawney yel
low eyes shining like topaz from a small
plquantly bright face framed in cloud
like bronze-gold hair, was, before she
music-hall denizens, the precious pair
fared forth. For two years they played
vaudeville circuits In the East, then
Hammerstein "discovered" Miss Clifford
and her ascent has been a gradual one
ever since.
"Nobody ever did one thing for me,"
she asserted. "I Just made up my mind
I could dance anything any one else did
and I can. I've been copied by dozens
of actors, and I've trained lots of aspir
ants along this line, but I never had a
lesson or any one to show me a thing
about my steps. When I go on in the
Yama Yama act I don'$ even have the
remotest Idea what I'm going to say or
do. It Just comes. I'm a born dancer,
not the manufactured or tutored brand."
The most abused word In the English
language Is personality but it's that in
tangible quality that makes Miss Clif
ford's work such a pronounced success.
She is a magnet, a lode star, and in
stinctively we go with her in her dance
steps and listen fascinated when she talks
of her work.
"I'm only a soubrette and I don't
aspire to be anything greater than a
good comedienne," she declared. "I'm
no embryo genius or undiscovered star.
I Just want to work out my own salva
tion by means of my feet, and some day
when' folks sit up and take notice I only
want to say, 'Well. I knew I could do
it If I only had a chance.' "
The vaudeville field beckons both Mr.
Morley and Miss Clifford and who
knows? Mr. Morley is at present en
gaged on a farce with a musical setting
in which they may both star. "The time
of the slap-stick comedian and shaggy
haired soubrette Is relegated to a past,"
said Mr. Morley. "The musical plays of
today possess plot, are tuneful and clean
and that's what an audience demands,
with bright lines and up-to-date situa
tions." Both of these folk are happiest when
at work. "I get just as much enjoyment
out of my dance as the audience does."
said Miss Clifford. "They say to them
selves: 'Poor little tired girl; we won't
applaud her. she mut be so tired,' and if
they only knew It I'm anxious to do my
best "for their delight. It takes loads of
nerves."
"Nerve did you say?" Interpolate that
paragon of politeness, Mr. Morley.
"No I said nerves," emphatic comes the
response from the goddess of the glad
heels. "I work hard, but It's worth it."

went into the "profesh." a stage-struck
maiden who rejoiced In the cognomen of
Bessie Lowenthal.
"I wish I'd left the tall end off and
called myself Bessie Lowen," she said.
Bessie's answer to the call of the rouge
pot " sounds like the synopsis of a
novel by Louisa M. Alcott. Bessie's
maternal ancestor kept a boarding
house catering especially to theatrical
folk. tVcrose "the backyard, with a
small window bpenlng upon the
clotheslines and coal-house of the
Lowenthal's was a music lialL Morn
ing, noon and night Bessie climbed
upon the fence and watched through
the window the various rehearsals and
finished performances. Her early am
bition was to go and do likewise.
Every step, once seen, was copied and
everywhere that Bessie went her feet
went dancing, too. The only time she
wasn't dancing was when she slept.
At an age w hen most lassies are enter
ing high school from the grammar
grades, and beginning to be allowed to
sit up until 9:30, Bessie and another In
fant of 13 went Into partnership, formed
a team, dubbed themselves Clifford &
